Tufting machines work by using a mechanical needle to push the yarn through a tufting cloth. Once through, the machine either cuts the yarn or leaves it in a loop. The result is two different finishing styles — cut and loop pile. These two finishing techniques can alter the look and feel of the rug, so it’s best to consult a professional for advice on which would be best when making your own rug!

There are countless design options when tufting a rug. Your handmade tufted rug can be any size or shape you’d like, ranging from cute pigs to traditional area rugs, with a variety of colors and patterns to choose from. The flexibility for tufted rugs is a great benefit when it comes to handmade rugs or gifts.
